I wouldn't have ever seen this pattern had it not been for Subversive Sewer's blog! That is one thing I LOVE about blogging lol. Ya just get so much inspiration! LOL
Pattern Description:
Misses' dresses are very close-fitting, have a slightly dropped waist,
and flared skirt. View A is strapless and has stitched elastic at the
top edge.
Pattern Sizing:
xm-xl
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow?
I didn't use them.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
If I could do anything differently, I would have used a wider elastic
instead of what the pattern called for. I think it would have given it
a smoother finish. IMO.
Fabric Used:
Jersey
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
I underlined the bodice using the same fabric because the jersey I used was thin.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I doubt if I will sew it again this season but I highly recommend it.
I think I'm done with maxi dresses for the season lol. This was the last one I REALLY wanted to make lol. I'm doing pants, pants, and MO PANTS now lol.

I am going to tell you the same thing I told Erica B! I just recently caught up with a blog I have been reading lately (Rantings of a Creole Princess) and she started a I hate Erica B campaign, and now I am going to start one with you. I hate Adrienne Campaign and this is how it is going to read. "If you want to read a blog that has a lot of humor, expressive content, to meet someone who has an eye for detail, can be described as fun, creative and loves her family then look for Adrienne's little world or Real Life Live and Unscripted. Now I am very sorry that I had to be so harsh with you but it had to be said and I hope you can get better with your sewing as I am with my pillow cases. P.S Beautiful dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Adrienne, thank's for popping by my blog and welcome back again:-) I'm having those giveaways every now and then and maybe someday there might be something that interests you.
Your dress is really nice and what a beautiful shade of yellow, I also liked that white short dress you made earlier.
Fall sewing....hmmm... I'm preaparing a post about it, the Pantone fall looks too good, I'm sold on all of those colors, yummy!!! Thank's for posting the palette.
